Does anyone know what a "GPU re-flow" is? I assume this basically translates to "re-melting" the gpu soldering back into place..yes?

And... Has anyone had any experience with Best Buy doing this sort of repair? I just had my xbox repaired under a Best Buy warranty (waste of money, at least from what I can see) and I'm just wondering how effective this GPU re-flow is... Am I doomed to continually get the RROD?

Thanks!

Is the new line of Xbox 360's immune to RROD? Has anyone experienced failures using the 360's with this model? Thanks for the reply

I remember last year when i was debating Xbox 360 vs PS3 that they were all about Xbox 360 and that i shouldn't worry about RROD.

It's odd that your av cable would just break. Maybe you have something wrong with your xbox? A friend of mine had the same problem...sound but no video.

Anyway, you might as well try using an hdmi cable as they are super cheap. Grab one from a dollar store or local computer store for $10 and try that. If that doesn't work, I guess something inside your xbox has 'melted'

Yes it will. yessir! Who agrees? savetehhaloz

You know what's always bugged me about the Xbox 360? The name.

First off, what does 360 represent? A circle. Roundness. Yet it's called the "Xbox." That's about the sharpest, squarest, jagged, non-circular name you can get. Pairing a name like that with something like "360" seems a tad contradictory to me.

Also, if you go 360 degrees, where do you end up? Right back where you started. Isn't the Xbox 360 supposed to be a huge step forward in home gaming consoles? Like, taking the system in a whole new direction? Wouldn't a name like "Xbox 180" make a little more sense?

Meh. Whatever. Just a thought.
